Vivendi: strong earnings growth in 2019

• Revenues increased 14.1% (up 5.6% on a constant basis) due in particular

to the very strong performance of Universal Music Group (UMG)

• EBITA increased 18.5% (up 10.8% on a constant basis) supported by:

• another record year for UMG

• the international growth at Canal+

• the strength of the Havas business model

• the success of the Editis integration

• Adjusted net income increased 50.5% to €1.7 billion

• Proposed dividend with respect to 2019 of €0.60 per share (up 20%)

1 Constant perimeter notably reflects the impacts of the acquisition of M7 by Canal+ Group (September 12, 2019), the acquisition of the remaining interest in Ingrooves

Music Group, which has been consolidated by Universal Music Group (March 15, 2019), the acquisition of Editis (January 31, 2019), the acquisition of Paylogic by Vivendi

Village (April 16, 2018) and the sale of MyBestPro by Vivendi Village (December 21, 2018). 2 Non-GAAP measures. 3 A reconciliation of EBIT to EBITA, as well as a reconciliation of earnings attributable to Vivendi SA shareowners to adjusted net income, are presented in Appendix II.

This press release contains audited consolidated financial figures established under IFRS, which were approved by Vivendi’s

Management Board on February 10, 2020, reviewed by the Vivendi Audit Committee on February 11, 2020, and by Vivendi’s Supervisory

Board on February 13, 2020 under the chairmanship of Yannick Bolloré.

In 2019, revenues were €15,898 million, compared to €13,932 million in 2018, up 14.1%, mainly as a result of

the growth of Universal Music Group (UMG), Canal+ Group and the consolidation of Editis since

February 1, 2019. At constant currency and perimeter1, revenues increased by 5.6% compared to 2018, primarily

driven by the growth of UMG (+14.0%).

For the fourth quarter of 2019, revenues were €4,575 million, up 12.8%, mainly as a result of the growth of

UMG, Canal+ Group and the consolidation of Editis. At constant currency and perimeter1, revenues increased by

2.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, which was primarily driven by the growth of UMG (+6.3%).

EBITA was €1,526 million, up 18.5%. At constant currency and perimeter, EBITA increased by 10.8%, primarily

driven by the growth of UMG, partially offset by the decline of Canal+ Group, primarily due to restructuring

charges.

EBITA included restructuring charges of €161 million, compared to €115 million in 2018, primarily incurred by

Canal+ Group (€92 million linked in particular to the plan to transform its French operations implemented during

the second half of 2019, compared to €28 million in 2018), Havas Group (€35 million, compared to €30 million in

2018), UMG (€24 million, compared to €29 million in 2018) and Corporate (€2 million, compared to €19 million in

2018).

EBIT was €1,381 million, up 16.9% compared to 2018.

Provision for income taxes reported to net income was a net income of €140 million, compared to a net

charge of €357 million in 2018. In 2019, it included a current tax income of €473 million recorded following the

favorable decision issued by the French Council of State (Conseil d’Etat) on December 19, 2019, concerning the

use of foreign tax receivables upon the exit from the Consolidated Global Profit Tax System with respect to fiscal

years 2012 and 2015. Excluding this impact, provision for income taxes reported to net income was a net charge

of €333 million, representing a favorable change of €24 million.

Earnings attributable to Vivendi SA shareowners was a profit of €1,583 million (or €1.28 per share - basic),

compared to €127 million in 2018 (or €0.10 per share - basic), an increase of €1,456 million. This change reflected

in particular the increase in EBIT (+€199 million), the improvement in other financial charges and income

(+€828 million due to the write-down in 2018 of the value of the Telecom Italia shares for €1,066 million), and

the current tax income of €473 million mentioned above.

Adjusted net income was a profit of €1,741 million (€1.41 per share - basic), compared to €1,157 million in

2018 (€0.92 per share - basic), an increase of 50.5%. This change mainly reflected the increase in EBITA of

€238 million and the current tax income of €473 million.

As of December 31, 2019, Vivendi's Financial Net Debt was €4.1 billion, compared to a Net cash position of

€176 million as of December 31, 2018. This change was due to the acquisition of Editis (€829 million) and M7

(€1.136 billion) as well as share repurchases (€2.66 billion) and the dividend payment (€636 million). The financial

net debt to equity ratio (gearing) was 26%.

Evolution of UMG’s share capital

On December 31, 2019, Vivendi entered into an agreement with a Tencent-led consortium, which includes

Tencent Music Entertainment and international financial investors, for the planned equity investment in UMG.

This agreement provides for the purchase by the consortium of 10% of UMG's share capital, based on an

enterprise value of €30 billion for 100% of UMG's share capital.

The Consortium has the option to acquire, on the same price basis, an additional amount of up to 10% of UMG’s

share capital until January 15, 2021.

This agreement will be shortly complemented by a second agreement allowing Tencent Music Entertainment to

acquire a minority interest in the share capital of UMG’s subsidiary that houses its operations in Greater China.

The merger control approvals, to which this transaction was subject, have been obtained from the relevant

regulatory authorities. The closing of the transaction is expected by the end of the first half of 2020.

Vivendi is very happy with the arrival of Tencent and its co-investors. It will enable UMG to further develop in

the Asian market.

In addition, Vivendi's Supervisory Board was informed of ongoing negotiations regarding the possible sale of

additional minority interests, which negotiation engagement, based on a minimum valuation of €30 billion, was

announced on December 31, 2019. Eight banks have been mandated by Vivendi to assist it in this matter. An

initial public offering is currently planned for early 2023 at the latest.

The proceeds from these different operations could be used for substantial share buyback operations and

acquisitions.

Returns to shareholders

Over the past 14 months, Vivendi has returned a total of €3.5 billion to its shareholders, including €3.3 billion

paid in 2019 (compared to a return of €568 million in the form of dividends in 2018), as follows:

• Between May 28, 2019, and February 4, 2020, Vivendi repurchased 115.9 million of its own shares for

€2.9 billion (including 108 million shares repurchased in 2019 for €2.66 billion), representing 8.85% of

the share capital as of the date of implementation of the program;

• In 2019, Vivendi canceled a total of 130.9 million shares, i.e.10% of the share capital as of the date of

implementation of the program, of which 96.8 million shares were repurchased under the current

program and 34.1 million shares were previously held; and

• In April 2019, Vivendi distributed a total of €636 million in dividends.

4

Pursuit of the current share buyback program

As of February 13, 2020, Vivendi directly held 22 million treasury shares, i.e. 1.85% of the share capital as of

that date, of which 19.1 million shares designated for cancellation and 2.9 million shares were allocated to

covering performance share plans.

This program will continue until April 17, 2020 for the remainder of its authorization, i.e. 15 million shares to be

purchased at a maximum price of €25/share.

General Shareholders’ Meeting on April 20, 2020

The General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on April 20, 2020 will vote on the renewal of the following two

authorizations granted to the Management Board by the General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 15, 2019:

• Authorization to repurchase shares of the company at a maximum price of €26/share, within the limit of

10% of the share capital (2020-2021 program); with the possibility of cancelling the shares acquired up

to the limit of 10% of the share capital; and

• Authorization to purchase shares of the company by way of a Public Share Buyback Offer (OPRA) at a

maximum price of €26/share, within the limit of 30% of the share capital (or 20% depending on the

repurchases made under the new program which are deducted from this 30% limit), and to cancel the

shares acquired.

This General Shareholder’s Meeting will also vote on the proposal for an ordinary dividend of €0.60 per share

with respect to the 2019 fiscal year. This amount represents an increase of 20% over the dividend paid with

respect to fiscal year 2018 (€0.50 per share) and a yield of 2.4% (based on the average price for Vivendi shares

over the last 12 months). The ex-dividend date would be April 21, 2020, with payment on April 23, 2020.

The renewal of Yannick Bolloré and the appointment of Laurent Dassault to the Supervisory Board will also be

proposed to Shareholders.

Diversity

The Supervisory Board considers that gender diversity, and diversity in general, at senior management level is

of the utmost importance. This process is already well in place within the Group’s main businesses, in particular

with the increasing presence of women in each Executive Committee. The appointment of a female member at

Vivendi Management Board level is planned before the end of 2020, and a second one in 2021.

Comments on the Businesses Key Financials

Universal Music Group

In 2019, Universal Music Group’s (UMG) revenues were €7,159 million, up 14.0% at constant currency and

perimeter compared to 2018 (up 18.9% on an actual basis).

Recorded music revenues grew by 11.6% at constant currency and perimeter thanks to the growth in subscription

and streaming revenues (+21.5%) and the release driven improvement in physical sales (+3.1%), which more

than offset the continued decline in download sales (-23.2%).

Recorded music best sellers for 2019 included new releases from Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Taylor Swift, Ariana

Grande and the Japanese band King & Prince, as well as continued sales of the soundtrack from A Star Is Born,

The Beatles 50th anniversary release of Abbey Road and multiple albums from Queen.

In 2019, UMG had an artist at the top of five major platforms (Amazon, Apple, Deezer, Spotify and YouTube),

and for each platform, a different top artist (Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, J Balvin, Post Malone, Daddy Yankee). In

addition, according to Billboard, UMG had seven of the Top 10 singles and albums in the United States for 2019

and the top three artists (Post Malone, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish).

Music publishing revenues grew by 9.2% at constant currency and perimeter compared to 2018, also driven by

increased subscription and streaming revenues.

On February 6, 2020, Taylor Swift, one of the music industry’s most creatively and commercially successful artist-

songwriters in history, signed an exclusive global publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group.

Merchandising and other revenues were up 73.7% at constant currency and perimeter compared to 2018, thanks

to increased touring activity and growth in retail and D2C (direct-to-consumer) revenues.

Driven by the growth in revenues, UMG’s EBITA was €1,124 million, up 22.3% at constant currency and perimeter

compared to 2018 (+24.6% on an actual basis).

Canal+ Group

At the end of December 2019, the total subscriber portfolio (individual and collective) of Canal+ Group's, which

now includes M7’s operations, reached 20.3 million, compared to 17.2 million at the end of December 2018 on

a pro forma basis, including 8.4 million in mainland France.

In 2019, Canal+ Group's revenues were €5,268 million, up 2.0% compared to 2018 (down 0.9% at constant

currency and perimeter).

• Revenues from television operations in mainland France fell slightly (down 2.8% at constant currency

and perimeter) due to the decline in the self-distributed individual subscriber base. However, the Canal+

subscriber base recorded a net increase in subscribers of 72,000 over the past 12 months.

6

• Revenues from international operations grew strongly by 13.7% (up 6.1% at constant currency and

perimeter) driven both by organic growth and the integration of M7.

• Studiocanal's revenues were €434 million, reflecting a year-on-year decrease of 12.8% at constant

currency and perimeter due to fewer theatrical releases compared to 2018.

EBITA before restructuring charges was €435 million, compared to €428 million in 2018. EBITA after restructuring

charges amounted to €343 million, compared to €400 million in 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, several important agreements involving the operations in France were announced,

including with Netflix, UEFA for the Champions League, The Walt Disney Company (in particular for the marketing

of Disney+) and BeIN Sports, the latter agreement allowing Canal+ to broadcast two matches of Ligue 1 per

championship day starting with the upcoming 2020/2021 season. In January 2020, Canal+ Group extended its

agreement with Formula One Management to remain the exclusive broadcaster for all of the next three seasons

of Formula 1.

Havas Group

Havas Group’s revenues for 2019 were €2,378 million, up 2.6% (down 1.0% at constant currency and perimeter)

compared to 2018. Net revenues4 increased by 2.8% to €2,256 million. Acquisitions contributed +1.3% and

exchange rates had a positive impact of 2.5%. Organic growth was down 1.0% compared to 2018.

In a contrasting sector environment, particularly in Europe, Havas Group’s performance was supported by the

media business thanks to the new Meaningful Media approach launched at the beginning of 2019. Strong

performances were delivered by the healthcare communications business and the creative pure players (BETC,

Rosapark, Edge), while the general network moved purposefully ahead with its transformation in order to adapt

itself to evolving client needs.

Havas Group accelerated its financial investments in the second half of the year, making four acquisitions of

strategic importance in terms of geographic expansion and strengthening its expertise: Buzzman in France,

Langoor and Shobiz in India, and Gate One in the United Kingdom.

In 2019, Havas Group continued its worldwide development, winning new clients both locally and globally. In

addition, Havas Group agencies were lavishly awarded in 2019. The Group was named “Most Sustainable

Company in the Communication Industry” by World Finance magazine in November 2019, and BETC was named

“International Agency of the Year 2019” by Adweek. For a list of the most significant Havas Group awards and

wins in 2019, please see Appendix VI.

Havas Group consolidated its profitability. EBITA before restructuring charges was €260 million, up 6.1%

compared to 2018. After restructuring charges, EBITA was €225 million, up 4.5%. Its EBITA/net revenues margin

thus gained an additional 0.2 points.

4 Net revenues correspond to revenues less pass-through costs rebilled to customers.

7

Editis

Vivendi has fully consolidated Editis since February 1, 2019. Editis’ contribution to Vivendi’s revenues was

€687 million for eleven months, up 6.3% on a proforma basis at constant currency and perimeter compared to

the same period in 2018.

Since February 1, 2019, Education & Reference revenues have risen sharply (up 16.8%). Thanks to the reform of

high school curricula in France, Editis reinforced its leading position in textbook publishing with its strong French

brands, Nathan, Bordas and Le Robert.

Literature continues to grow (up 2.0% on an eleven-month proforma basis). Editis confirms its leading position

in this segment with 6 authors in the top 10 of the best-selling authors in France in 2019 and also leads many

other segments: N°1 in thrillers, History, youtubers and influencers, and N°2 in youth, leisure / practical life and

tourism (GfK 2019).

Diffusion & Distribution revenues related to third-party publishers are also increased (up 4.2% on eleven-month

pro forma), driven in particular by the distribution of the Goncourt Prize, Tous les hommes n’habitent pas le

monde de la même façon from Jean-Paul Dubois (L’Olivier).

In the second half of 2019, Editis continued its external growth policy with Robert Laffont’s acquisition of the

publishing houses Seguier, Nathan’s purchase of the publishing houses L’Agrume and the publishing house Le

Retz’s acquisition of l’Ecole Vivante, as well as the purchase in July 2019 of the l’Archipel publishing group

which specializes in literature and essays.

In August 2019, Editis also entered the graphic novel and comic book segments following an agreement

concluded with Jungle Publishing (a subsidiary of the Steinkis group).

Editis’ EBITA was €52 million since February 1, 2019, up 46.9% proforma compared to the same period in 2018,

thanks to the increase in revenues and cost control.

Other businesses

Gameloft

With 1.5 million downloads per day across all platforms during 2019, Gameloft is one of the world’s leading

video game publishers.

In 2019, Gameloft's revenues were €259 million, down 11.8% year-on-year. Gameloft’s sales on OTT platforms,

representing 72% of Gameloft’s total sales, declined by 11.1%. The postponement to 2020 of three major games

initially scheduled for release in the second half of 2019 and the saturation of the mobile gaming segment largely

explain the lower OTT revenues in 2019. The advertising business, representing 11.6% of Gameloft’s total

revenues, was up 4.8%.

8

65% of Gameloft’s revenues were generated by its own gaming franchises and 35% by the franchises of major

international groups such as Disney or Lego. For Disney, Gameloft released Disney Princess Majestic Quest in

October 2019 and Disney Getaway Blast at the end of January 2020. For Lego, it will release LEGO Legacy:

Heroes Unboxed in March 2020.

Gameloft is developing its presence on all platforms and has released two games on Nintendo Switch: Modern

Combat Blackout and Asphalt 9: Legends.

The recent subscription-based game distribution model provides another growth avenue for Gameloft. It

developed Ballistic Baseball, one of the first games included on Apple Arcade, Apple’s new game subscription

service. It also launched a cloud gaming service, in partnership with Blacknut, which offers operators and

manufacturers a new range of cross-platform games streamed from the cloud.

In 2019, the decrease in fixed costs only partially offset the decline in revenues and higher marketing

investments. Gameloft’s EBITA was -€36 million.

Vivendi Village

In 2019, Vivendi Village’s revenues were €141 million, a significant increase of 38.9% at constant currency and

perimeter (14.6% on an actual basis) compared to 2018.

This growth is mostly attributable to the development of the live activities in France and Great-Britain, as well as

the venues in France and Africa. Their revenues nearly doubled in a year (x1.9), reaching €68 million. This change

resulted in particular from the organic growth of the concert and show promotion business, which currently

manages some 75 artists. It is also due to acquisitions, notably Garorock in France, which attracted 160,000

festival-goers in 2019.

In addition, Olympia Production formed a joint venture with OL Groupe to produce the Felyn Stadium Festival in

Lyons in June 2020.

L’Olympia in Paris enjoyed a record year with slightly over 300 shows. Three new CanalOlympia venues were

inaugurated in Africa in 2019 (14 in total in ten countries).

The ticketing businesses, united under the See Tickets brand, generated revenues of €66 million (up 14.4%

compared to 2018 and up 6.5% at constant currency and perimeter). This growth is partly attributable to the

development of the operations in the US, where revenue has almost doubled in one year. With the acquisition of

Starticket in Switzerland on December 30, 2019, See Tickets is now present in nine European countries and in the

United States, selling about 30 million tickets annually (25 million in 2019).

Vivendi Village’s EBITA was a loss of €17 million, compared to a loss of €9 million in 2018. Excluding the

investments in Africa, EBITA was mostly at break-even.

9

New Initiatives

In 2019, New Initiatives, which brings together entities in the launch or development phase, recorded revenues

of €71 million, up 6.2% compared to 2018 (up 9.3% at constant currency and perimeter).

GVA continued to roll out its fiber network in Africa in order to provide its customers with very high-speed

internet access. After Libreville and Lomé, GVA experienced further development in 2019, in Pointe Noire

(Republic of Congo).

In 2019, GVA provided more than 25,000 subscribers in the three cities where the company is established.

Dailymotion entered into over 280 agreements with leading global publishers in 2019, including 70 in the United

States and dozens in territories where the company had little presence (Indonesia, Taiwan, Mexico). The

audience in these new countries has increased significantly. At the end of 2019, the premium content audience

represented more than 70% of its global audience, compared to less than 30% in 2017, and its total monthly

users increased by 20% in two years to exceed 350 million at the end of 2019.

In 2019, Dailymotion also completed the overhaul of its advertising ecosystem. It created a proprietary

programmatic platform and a content monetization system (live or programmatic).

New Initiatives' EBITA was a loss of €65 million, compared to a loss of €99 million in 2018.

For additional information, please refer to the “Financial Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the

year ended December 31, 2019” released later on Vivendi’s website (www.vivendi.com).

performance. Vivendi considers these to be relevant indicators of the group’s operating and financial performance. Vivendi

Management uses income from operations, EBITA and adjusted net income for reporting, management and planning purposes

because they exclude most non-recurring and non-operating items from the measurement of the business segments’

performances.

KEY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS

(IFRS, audited)

As from January 1, 2019, Vivendi applies the new accounting standard IFRS 16 – Leases. In accordance with

IFRS 16, the impact of the change of accounting standard was recorded in the opening balance sheet as of

January 1, 2019. Moreover, Vivendi applied this change of accounting standard to the Statement of

Financial Position, Statement of Earnings and Statement of Cash Flows in 2019; therefore, the data relative

to prior years is not comparable.

As a reminder, in 2018, Vivendi applied two new accounting standards:

• IFRS 15 – Revenues from Contracts with Customers: in accordance with IFRS 15, as from 2017,

Vivendi applied this change of accounting standard to revenues. The data presented below with

respect to fiscal years 2015 to 2016 are historical and therefore unrestated; and

• IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: in accordance with IFRS 9, as from 2018, Vivendi applied this change

of accounting standard to the Statement of Earnings and Statement of Comprehensive Income

restating its opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2018; therefore, the data relative to prior years

in this report is not comparable.

In addition, Vivendi deconsolidated GVT as from May 28, 2015, the date of its effective sale by Vivendi. In

compliance with IFRS 5, this business was reported as a discontinued operation for 2015 as set out in the

table of selected key consolidated financial data below in respect of data reflected in the Statement of

Earnings and Statement of Cash Flows.

a. The non-GAAP measures of Income from operations, EBITA, Adjusted net income, Net Cash Position (or

Financial Net Debt), Cash flow from operations (CFFO) and Cash flow from operations after interest and

income tax paid (CFAIT) should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other GAAP

Statements and the related Notes, or as described in this Financial Report. Vivendi considers these to

be relevant indicators of the group’s operating and financial performance. Each of these indicators is

defined in the appropriate section of this Financial Report. In addition, it should be noted that other

companies may have definitions and calculations for these indicators that differ from those used by

Vivendi, thereby affecting comparability.

b. With respect to fiscal year 2015, Vivendi paid an ordinary dividend of €3 per share, i.e., an aggregate

dividend payment of €3,951 million. This amount included €1,363 million paid in 2015 (first interim
